Question

compared to arc welding, which of the following statements are true about gas welding? select the 2 answer options that apply. slower than arc welding easier to control than arc welding faster than arc welding harder to control than arc welding jump to question: 2

Explanation:

To determine the correct answers, we analyze the characteristics of gas welding vs. arc welding:

• Gas welding typically has a slower welding speed compared to arc welding due to the nature of heat generation and metal melting rate. So "Slower than arc welding" is true.
• Gas welding offers more precise control over the flame and heat input, making it easier to control in terms of heat distribution and weld pool manipulation compared to arc welding. So "Easier to control than arc welding" is true.
• "Faster than arc welding" is false as gas welding is slower.
• "Harder to control than arc welding" is false as gas welding is easier to control.

Answer:

A. Slower than arc welding, B. Easier to control than arc welding
